On the subject of bullying, being human and not perfect I've been on both ends.
-At primary school there was one guy who picked on me, just name-calling and the like. So I got him in a neck-lock, he kicked me in the nads though, but it ended the bullying. As an aside his parents had just got divorced, so that may have been the reason.
-As I moved country I experienced bullying when I arrived in Australia. I was bullied by numerous people for being new and different, and I guess because I had no friends at that stage it made me an easy target. But, one of the guys who picked on me became a really good friend in the end though, I persevered, and was proud and it stopped.
-At high-school there was a guy who got picked on badly by a couple of my mates, and due to peer-pressure I ended up picking on him too. But he got a teacher I respected (who's a friend now) to talk to me and I helped stop the people picking on him. He's a really good friend of mine now, top bloke.

Now I've finished school, as of last Thursday, and I've got over my celebration hangover I'm looking forward to the world beyond.

But I've got to say having a good honest laugh with a mate is a lot more fulfilling than picking on somebody who's down and out.
